The Catholic Foundation distributed $6 million in grants to central Ohio organizations over its
last fiscal year, the largest amount in its history.

More than 900 grants went to about 375 organizations for the 12-month period ending on June 30,
according to the donor-supported foundation, which provides funds across the 23-county Diocese of
Columbus.

Funding is focused on Catholic education and faith formation, parish life, social services and
vocations.

Among items highlighted in the annual report were a preschool startup at St. Mary School in
Lancaster and a scholarship fund that assists students at Bishop Watterson High School.
